Lack of Visibility Beyond the Four Walls

Poor CustomerService

Globalization and Outsourcing

Positioning: Customer Challenges and Trends Drive Strategy for Supply Chain Collaboration

Globalization & Outsourcing Have resulted in stretched supply chains and increased risk. Timely analysis, response,

and resolution of supply chain issues is Impossible due to lack of control.

Lack of Visibility beyond the four walls Anticipating the next supply chain disruption is not possible due to lack of visibility.

Rising Energy and Fuel Costs Have increased cost and challenges of compliance and transportation

Poor Customer Service Inability to sense and respond to real time demand signals

Positioning: Evolution of Supply Chain Networks

Increase Supply Network Visibility& Collaboration *now the main source of competitive advantage: Real time visibility of inventory, incoming supply, component consumption and carrier information. And the ability to share this information collaboratively with all stakeholders in a timely manner Collaborative Demand & Supply Planning A recent Economist study cited that 80% of executives expect demand not supply to drive future production of goods and services. This can only be achieved through a focused effort to capture and manage demand data. As companies move to a more demand-driven approach, they must first capture and manage demand data from the diverse channels they serve. Then there is the cross-departmental, integrated sales and operations planning (S&OP) process that involves creating and comparing your demand plan and your supply plan, then reconciling these with your financial plan. The S&OP team should then evaluate the risks and assumptions involved and produce one comprehensive plan that addresses key tradeoffs between sales, production, and finance. An finally leverage integrated planning processes that enable trading partners to synchronize demand and supply plans and respond to network events and changes. This involves setting goals and forecasts, as well as optimizing and scheduling time, materials, and other resources at the strategic, tactical, and operational levels.Streamline Transportation & Fulfillment -Strive to Deliver the Perfect Order Companies striving for the perfect order. Companies need warehouse, transportation, available-to-promise, and event management capabilities integrated with each other on a single platform; this fulfillment network, if its real-world aware, enables an organization to monitor information, measure activities, notify involved parties, and execute accordingly so that customers receive that perfect order.Minimize Supply Chain Risk & Compliance Across the Network As supply chains get stretched it is increasingly important to manage Risk and Compliance at all levels. At a strategic level by designing resilience into the network, tactically to balance opportunity with risk and during Execution by sensing & responding to events in the network.Increase Real World Awareness In order for the network to be responsive, they need to constantly be sensing real world events before and as they happen AND devise intelligent strategies to respond to them in a timely manner. Rise of technologies like RFID, Sensors and Asset monitoring capabilities are enabling companies to detect, collaborate and respond to real time events. Business Networks against Business Networks

The answer lies in the SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC) application, part of the SAP Supply Chain Management (SAP SCM) application. This application, SAP Supply Network Collaboration, helps suppliers operating SAP or non-SAP systems execute collaborative processes through a range of supply, demand, and inventory replenishment processes.

SAP Supply Network Collaboration helps you connect to and collaborate with your suppliers by providing easy, and seamless access to supply chain information. This application facilitates your ability to synchronize supply with demand. Offering support for raw-material, component, and contract-manufacturing suppliers, it helps you strengthen your purchasing operations and your supplier relationships with suppliers of direct materials.

With supplier-collaboration processes, you can cooperate with suppliers of all sizes to reduce transactional costs by replacing fax and e-mail as primary modes of communication. Smaller suppliers without specialized EDI infrastructures can integrate into the supply network by setting up Web access to SAP SNC in their software landscapes. All they need is Internet access and Web browsers.

You can deploy SAP Supply Network Collaboration as a stand-alone application, or integrate it with SAP or non-SAP back-end solutions on the customer and supplier sides. You can also operate it in a hosted environment where it serves as a joint-use platform for all business supply chain partners involved in the process.

SAP Supply Network Collaboration supports exceptions-based processes that let your suppliers view the status of materials at customers plants, receive automatic alerts when inventory levels runs low, and respond quickly over the Web. It also supports net-demand release and purchase-order processes, a kanban process, dynamic replenishment, supplier-managed inventory (the industry-standard replenishment process), a delivery control monitoring process, a supply network inventory process, and a contract manufacturing procurement process as well as packaging and label-printing functions.

DR (Forecast) Process

Main Features: Supplier Collaboration with SAP SNC: Raw Material/Component Supply

Purchase Order Process allows for the customer to send out Purchase Orders to the supplier using the web-based application SAP SNC. The Purchase Orders are typically generated as part of the customer's MRP run, or are manually created by the customer. The suppliers can view the PO's by status, enter free text notes and print/download as well. The supplier can enter confirmations/order responses indicating which date and quantity that can be committed to. At time of shipment, the supplier can create ASN messages as well, which together with the confirmations update the customer's ERP system.Release Process allows for the customer to send out Scheduling Agreement Release Updates to the supplier using the web-based application SAP SNC. The SA Releases are typically generated as part of the customer's MRP run. The suppliers can view the various "release updates", compare the differences between older and newer updates and print/download as well. At time of shipment, the supplier can create ASN messages as well, which updates the customer's ERP system. KANBAN Process allows for the customer to send out KANBAN replenishment signals to the supplier using the web-based application SAP SNC. The KANBAN signals are typically generated as part of the customer's MRP run, or are manually created by the customer. The suppliers can view the KANBANs by status, control cycle ID, KANBAN ID, product number and print/download as well. The supplier has access to one main screen environment for KANBAN processing ("dashboard"), from which, at time of shipment, the supplier can create ASN messages that updates the customer's ERP system.SMI allows for a shift of net replenishment planning and execution from the customer to the supplier. The supplier uses gross demand (dependent requirements) and stock balance to calculate a replenishment plan based on min/max logic, and subsequently converts the plan into Purchase Orders and ASNs at time of shipment. The PO's and ASNs are sent back to the customer's ERP system as indication of commitment from the supplier. PO's are optional in the SMI process; the replenishment plan can be converted directly into ASNs if needed.

17

Delivery Control Monitor (DCM) allows for a shift of net replenishment planning and execution from the customer to the supplier. The supplier uses stock balance updates and preset signal levels (reorder points) to understand when replenishment needs to take place. The replenishment is based on min/max inventory limits, and the DCM functionality calculates the suggested replenishment quantities using the maximum level as the upper limit.Dynamic Replenishment (DR) allows for a comparison of customer and supplier planning data in a one screen environment were deviations between customer's plan and supplier's plan are shown as absolute numbers and percentages. There are also color-coded thresholds that visualize the deviations on screen. The customer's ERP system is used for extracting data like Planned Orders and Purchase Requisitions which is shown as "customer plan" values in SAP SNC, same thing for already created PO's which are shown as "customer order" values. The supplier can send in, or enter the corresponding responses via the web, for the "supplier plan" and "supplier order" values.

SNC

Developing collaborative relationships is not always easy, since each partner has different technical capabilities. For example, connecting to a supplier with limited technical capabilities can be costly, complicated, and time-consuming.

Telephone, fax, and e-mail remain the most common methods of communication. Even though electronic data interchange (EDI) may be a more reliable communication resource, it is cost-effective only in high-volume situations that involve large expenditures.

How, then, can you extend the benefits of streamlined collaboration to your entire ecosystem? How can you get all your partners to connect automatically, as well as efficiently, and cost-effectively to your internal processes?

Main Value-Adding Capabilties for SAP SNC Supplier Collaboration Change Your Communication Method: Switch from fax, phone calls and e-mails as the main communication methods with your suppliers. By using

SAP SNC, suppliers will have a one-stop-shop web-based tool to access and respond to supply chain, which will reduce human errors, increase speed and accuracy with which data is exchnaged between youand your suppliers. In addition, suppliers can respond to data feeds from SAP SNC, actions that will update your ERP system for you and in real time.

Have Suppliers Plan and Replenish for You: SAP SNC has capabilities that allow you to change the business process, allowing for supplier

responsability of planning and replenishment instead of yourself. SAP SNC offers business processes (likeSMI and DCM) that shift the replenishment actitivities from you to the supplier, still keeping your ERP in synch.

Enable Lean, or Pull-Based, Systems with Your Suppliers: SAP SNC also comes with capabilities that allow you to push thru any lean manufacturing initiatives you

may out to your external suppliers. Consumption-based replenishment capabilities exist in the shape of Kanban triggers and reorder point driven logic.

Monitor and Collaborate with Contract Manufacturers and Other Network Partners: Contract manufacturers represent a special type of supplier, and along with 3PLs, is something SAP SNC

has special capabilities to handle. Collaborate on a more granular level using BOMs and phases (routing) and find out where a certain product orders is in the process, and when it might be finished. Gain insightsto the supply and demand situation at a contract manufacturers plant, or a 3PL plant participating in theextended supply chain network.

Complement Existing EDI Connections with Collaborative Planning: Typically, large manufacturing companies that use SAP ERP (R/3) have hundreds, if not thousands, of

direct material suppliers. A well-know CP industry SAP customer has around 5000 direct material suppliersin North America, around 200 of them are connected via traditional EDI connections (i.e. the customersERP system talks directly to the suppliers ERP system). That means around 4800 suppliers are notconnected via EDI, and forecasts and orders are shared via e-mail, excel sheet attachments, phone calls, fax or simpler supplier portals over the web. However, when looking at the 200 suppliers that areconnected via EDI, most of the data shared is of short-term, execution character (POs, Change POs, PO Confirmations, Ship Notifications, etc) and not much data is shared on a longer term horizon. Therefore, SAP SNC can be positioned and used as the forecast, or mid to long term, collaboration platform that canexist in parallell to the existing EDI connection. SAP SNC and EDI connections can be complementary.
